Frequently Asked Questions about Fractora Skin Resurfacing at CNY Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
What happens during Fractora skin resurfacing?
Fractora creates tiny punctures in your skin and sends heat deep below the surface to stimulate new collagen production.
Are there any side effects with Fractora fractional skin resurfacing?
You will experience swelling and redness, which can take anywhere from a few days to a week to fully subside, depending on the intensity of your treatment. We will review possible side effects during your personal consultation.
Is Fractora skin resurfacing painful?
We will apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment to ensure your comfort. For more intense treatments, we will use stronger pain medication, as indicated and needed. Following your treatment, you may experience temporary discomfort, including soreness and swelling, as your skin renews itself. Applying ice and taking anti-inflammatories can help minimize discomfort and speed your recovery.
How much downtime should I expect with Fractora?
Your downtime will depend on the intensity of your treatment. Fractora can be tailored to your exact needs and preferences. If you opt for mild treatments, you should expect a day or two of downtime. Patients who prefer one or two intense treatments should plan for up to a week of social downtime.
